My life has been a series of doors opening and closing…..I just have not always seen when they close or open. This time around, I am awake and am very present to what door is closing and what doors are opening for me. I just finished my 16 week intensive Sound Engineering course with resounding success. I have always loved music and have always been fascinated with how to record, mix and master……now I know and I am getting really good at it. I am currently talking to other

The music flows through me for the harmony of all. This was a line that was gifted to me by Jonathan Goldman in my Sound Healing workshop I took a few years ago. I have always felt that was my gift and that I was here to create music and sound that would be healing to the planet. This was my intention when I wrote the songs for my CD…Flyin Blind. Each song tells a different story of healing and will put energy out in this world to heal and to have hope. I even named my st

It is always a challenge to pick the order of the songs on any CD. It is truly an art and it also an art to determine how much time should be between each song. Unfortunately, the days of albums and CD sales have been replaced with single song purchases. When I was younger, we looked forward to an album being released so we could see what the album cover was going to look like and we listened to the whole album to get the feel. Well, there are certain things that I will al

My buddy Willie last week accused me of purposely attempting to string along these blogs to create heightened awareness for my new CD Flyin Blind, so that I could drive the price up…..thanks Willie……I love to live in that fantasy, I feel like The Rolling Stones….pre announcing my new multi-million dollar tour…..minus a few million dollars. This week’s blog is about the song The Fool. I wrote this song because I had two tarot card readings in a relatively short period of time

The song that the CD was named after is called Flyin Blind. This is a song that I wrote with Gordon Brown and written after a dream he had combined with my outlook on life. It is interesting how many people see flying blind as a negative thing……not the healing peace that I wrote about. What I find interesting is that I have not yet met one person who knows what next week will bring, or even tomorrow. We simply cannot tell the future…..that is why our lives are so interesti

One of the biggest challenges I had on this CD was how to fit in two acoustic songs with the rest of the full on band songs. I didn’t want to just tag them at the end and they were very much part of my story. Comes a Time was an acoustic song that I wrote talking about my humility and the choices that I make in my life. Through my humility, I see that I have choices and my choices all have consequences…..good and/or bad. As the rest of the songs do, this one tells a small

On every CD that I have been part of, there is usually one or two songs that go down so much different than what was originally planned….. sometimes it works, others not. This time it worked in spades …… twice. The first one was Be My Rock and the second was this song, Hand in Hand. I had heard some reggae music recently and have always been lured to their rhythms. I got turned onto a band called The Dirty Heads and they did a show with Daryl Hall (of Hall and Oates) calle

There are certain things in life that I was given. I had no say in the manner, it wasn’t my choice, I had nothing to do with it…..and it still came. What am I talking about…..siblings….brothers. I have two brothers and they were put in my life without any say so from me…….thank God they came though, life would not have been the same. My brother David came in town today and my other brother John, who live here, joined us for lunch. Dave and I had some time before to connec
